Tattoo Pop-up Co.
By Dave Shurman
Interested in having real tattoos at your next event?
Tattoo Pop-Up Company (TatPopCo) provides licensed and insured, high-quality tattooing for private events, parties, and brand activations. What began with small events, like weddings, quickly grew into special events and large fan festivals, becoming a service built on experience and trust.
TatPopCo is run by me, Dave. You will work directly with me, with guest artists brought in only when needed. This service is not available to the general public. I work primarily with event coordinators and planners, which is why this site is invite only. The focus is on well organized events where guests feel safe and excited about the tattoo pop-up experience.
Based in Houston, Texas. Available to travel.

It’s simple. First, we meet virtually and consult about your event and needs.
I draw a sheet of tattoos (flash) specific to your event theme.
On the day of the event, our licensed professionals and assistant will bring everything needed to set up the tattoo station.
The guests pick a design, sign a waiver, and get tattooed. We handle the entire tattoo experience from start to finish.
Safety is a top priority. We follow strict sanitation protocols, use sterilized equipment and single-use needles, and provide each guest with a second skin style bandage and clear aftercare instructions for proper healing.
Create an experience your guests will remember forever.
